*gets back up on the soapbox, because I am a dumbass and forgot something*

We can go back and forth, each side having points.

I would actually like to provide a solution, one that has proven itself.

An amendment to the Constitution that puts a cap on gov't spending and budget increases.

We have it here in Colorado and its called TABOR (Taxpayer Bill Of Rights). Almost every state got hurt in the recession, but Colorado got hurt less because of TABOR.

Here is a link to a local thinktank regarding TABOR

It is the only way to curb the growth of the gov't--politicians will not do it. We, the people, have to set the limits and make them come to us and ask for more. That way they have to prove their case to us - or - no money.

*gets back down off of soapbox and puts it away for the night*
